Saw this at the weekend re. the effects of a firefightters' strike: - http://news.bbc.co.uk/go/em/fr/-/1/hi/england/2381279.stm
I wonder what the position is regarding disabled employees? I work on the second floor, and in a recent fire drill I had to stagger down the stairs, with a logjam of about 50 students behind me, as there was no designated safe place; the Man in Charge later told me there was "no way he'd send one of his staff into a burning building to get disabled people out"... (This issue has been taken up). If I'm confined to the ground floor I can't do my job - that's a DDA rather than a SENDA issue.
Meanwhile, is it legal to confine a student to the ground floor, and thereby deny him access to lectures??
